Emergency Preparedness Checklist

Utah has
experience a string of them recently. Fortunately, nothing major. This string
of rumbles doesn’t necessarily mean that the big one is going to happen any time
soon. But, it is highly likely that sometimein our lifetime—or our children’s lifetime—a major earthquake will occur.

It’s
easy to procrastinate the task of getting prepared when the inevitable seems so
far removed from our daily reality. But our reality can turn on a dime. It can
become devastating, scary, and quite possibly life-threatening.

During
last September’s National Preparedness Month, we posted a checklist of several
steps that should to be taken to help prepare your family. With mother nature’s
recent hints, we think now’s a good time to repost the checklist! Here you go:

Emergency Preparedness
Checklist

Establish
your family’s meeting place(s)

Make (and
practice) a home evacuation plan

Make a
list of nearby water sources

Create
an emergency contact phone list

Write
down your medications and put a couple of days’ worth in your emergency kit

Assign
responsibility for the bug-out kit(s), including food, water and gear

Assign
each pet a safety buddy

Today,
while it’s fresh on your mind, be sure to take these important steps to help
ensure your family’s safety. Being prepared can make all the difference if—or
when—something major comes your way.

And, be
sure to keep an eye out for this month’s Case
Lot Sales. They’re the perfect way to stock up on emergency preparedness
kits, long-term food storage, and emergency water.
